I agree. I am not interested in pleasing others. The standards I hold to guarantee that I please myself. Being accepting and trying to have understanding for others helps me when I can manage it.
Quote:
Therefore a sage has said, 'I will do nothing, and the
people will be transformed of themselves; I will be fond of keeping
still, and the people will of themselves become correct. I will take no trouble about it, and the people will of themselves become rich; I will manifest no ambition, and the people will of themselves attain to the primitive simplicity.'
